Psalms 101

1 Ti Dafidi. Saamu. Èmi yóò kọrin ìfẹ́ àti òdodo; sí ọ Olúwa, èmi yóò máa kọrin ìyìn.

A Psalm of David. I will sing to you, O Lord, of mercy and judgement; I will sing a psalm,

2 Èmi yóò máa rin ìrìn mi pẹ̀lú ọgbọ́n láìlẹ́ṣẹ̀, ìgbà wo ni ìwọ yóò wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi? Èmi yóò máa rìn ní ilé mi pẹ̀lú àyà pípé.

and I will be wise in a blameless way. When will you come to me? I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

3 Èmi kì yóò gbé ohun búburú sí iwájú mi: iṣẹ́ àwọn tí ó yapa ni èmi kórìíra. Wọn kì yóò rọ̀ mọ́ mi.

I have not set before mine eyes any unlawful ting; I have hated transgressors.

4 Agídí ọkàn yóò kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi; èmi kì yóò mọ ènìyàn búburú.

A perverse heart has not cleaved to me; I have not known an evil man, forasmuch as he turns away from me.

5 Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ń sọ̀rọ̀ ẹnìkejì rẹ̀ ní ìkọ̀kọ̀, òun ní èmi yóò gé kúrò ẹni tí ó bá gbé ojú rẹ̀ ga tí ó sì ní ìgbéraga àyà, òun ní èmi kì yóò faradà fún.

Him that privily speaks against his neighbour, him have I driven from [me]: he that is proud in look and insatiable in heart, —with him I have not eaten.

6 Ojú mi yóò wà lára àwọn olóòtítọ́ lórí ilẹ̀, kí wọn kí ó lè máa bá mi gbé; ẹni tí ó bá n rin ọ̀nà pípé òun ni yóò máa sìn mí.

Mine eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walked in a perfect way, the same ministered to me.

7 Ẹni tí ó bá ń ṣe ẹ̀tàn, kì yóò gbé ilé mi, kò sí ẹni tí ń ṣèké tí yóò dúró ní iwájú mi.

The proud doer lived not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not in my sight.

8 Ní ojoojúmọ́ ní èmi yóò wá máa pa a lẹ́nu mọ gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn búburú ilẹ̀ náà; èmi yóò gé àwọn olùṣe búburú kúrò ní ìlú Olúwa.

Early did I kill all the sinners of the land, that I might destroy out of the city of the Lord all that work iniquity.
